Doctor Exposes Woman Who Faked Pregnancy For 9 Months In Ilorin

The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of Yusjib Industrial Medicare, Ilorin,
Dr Yusuf Abdulraheem, says he has discovered a young lady that has been
faking pregnancy for close to nine months. Abdulraheem told newsmen on
Tuesday in Ilorin that he discovered that the lady used clothing as a
disguise for the pregnancy by stuffing them under her normal clothes to
make her appear pregnant.

According to the doctor, he made the
discovery while trying to examine the lady who is in her early twenties.
He said that the lady identified herself as Azeezat Abubakar.

The
CMD said that the lady who was brought to the hospital for delivery,
identified herself as Azeezat Abubakar. He added that he became
suspicious when she refused to be examined.

“She has been using
my hospital name to claim money at home, telling her family she is doing
her ante-natal in Yusjib. When her family brought her, I noticed that i
had never seen her face before, but for the benefit of doubt, I told
her to remove her folder which she could not locate.

“In the
absence of one, I opened a new folder for her; I requested she come to
the couch for examination only for her to be squatting. “It was her
mother-in-law who forced her to the couch and as I tried to examine her
tommy, I discovered it was clothes she padded there’’, Abdulraheem said.

The
doctor condemned the incident and urged mothers to monitor their young
girls closely. He also wondered why the mother-in-law did not discover
the fake pregnancy for close to nine months.
